The Official Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22/BOTAR Thread

[POINTLESS5448]

considering it was free then it sounds like he missed it.

[Henrik]

I would love to see catch 22, even though I have heard they aren't that good live.

[Jessizzle]

Iv heard they're really good. Maybe thats just cause we are used to canadian ska?

[D & V]

why are these 3 bands grouped together in this thread.

[ThePinkPanther]

why are these 3 bands grouped together in this thread.

Tomas Kalnoky basically was the mastermind behind all of them (well for catch 22 the keasbey nights era) is was i'm guessing.

[Brain Toad]

why are these 3 bands grouped together in this thread.

They share members. Namely Tomas Kalnoky.

[Rise Me Up]

I see Catch 22 Saturday.

*Excited*

[Sieg Howdy]

why are these 3 bands grouped together in this thread.
They all have the same band leader.

Hey guys, that's cool at the end of 1234 1234, the M'festo version, they have those computer voices talking, do you know what they're saying? I know it has to do with the cover album but that's all I can hear...

Catch 22 still tours? Who sings with them?

[Catchthe22]

Earlier in the thread it is mentioned what is being said. The CD was released March 7th? so id check the early March posts and see.

[Kithkin]

It's actually probably mid-late february. We had it a bit earlier than the release date:)

The sax and trumpet player sing poorly when Catch tours. When I saw them a few weeks ago they only played a 3 songs each off of Alone and Keasby. The rest were split between new songs and Dinosaur.

If the Flatliners and the Loved Ones hadn't been so good...

[jettadude77]

so, no one knows what happened to the skachilles forum?

[Henrik]

Nahh, I can't figure it out either.

[Brian Manifesto]

From Whole Wehat Bread's Myspace Bulletin:

Got some exciting news today... we just learned we'll be touring the US in July/Aug with MXPX, Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto & Transistion. Stay tuned for dates... we'll announce them as soon as we can.

and don't forget prior to that we've got all kinds of touring lined up... including the tour we're currently on w/ The Matches & MC Lars (see dates below). And don't forget this June it's the east coast and Canada with The Aquabats!

[jettadude77]

i kinda liked whole wheat bread when i saw them open for streetlight, they were pretty entertaining if anything

[Brian Manifesto]

yeah they are good, but this will be a really crowded ska show because of MXPX, plus Streetlight gained recognition from alot of people so it will be very crowded.

We knew this already.

[jettadude77]

post from the official streetlight website...

so the cat is out of the bag here and there on the internet, so we may as well annouce it here too: this summer we will be doing a full north american tour with reel big fish, mxpx and our old friends whole wheat bread. although we're saving the bulk of our new material for our post-record-release headlining tours, we will be slipping new streetlight tunes in here and there. we're more excited than anything about getting our sophomore record out, so stay tuned for news on that in the upcoming months as well. as for the summer tour, we'll be annoucing dates soon, but be sure to buy tickets in advance as many of the shows will likely sell out.

...so, right from the source. can't wait.

[Catchthe22]

That isnt on their site...unless they took that message down.

edit: nevermind, I guess the update only shows on Internet Explorer and not Firefox.

[AIRIC]

They better come to upsate New York woo!!

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah im going to cry if they dont come back down to the dirrty south. they probably will since whole wheat bread is with them. ive missed them twice because i suck at life.

[Liebensaft]

They're playing/played Bamboozle here. I could go if I wanted to pay $30 to hang out with scene kids all day just to see SM.

[AIRIC]

It might be worth it.

[Liebensaft]

I think the thing was in April anyway.

[Danger Bird]

There's a waning chance of me seeing SM with the Aquabats. If not, I'll just pray every night that BOTAR goes on tour after they put out their new album. Now that would be great. I would seriously pass up sex with three ladies to see that show.

Hmm, I think I'll wait for a headlining tour. Wait, I guess it depends. If MXPX are the headliners, I definately won't go. If it's RBF, I may be persuaded into going if tickets are cheap.

[POINTLESS5448]

who cares who is headlining? you dont have to see tehm. you can just go for streetlight. thats what im going to do. the only problem with mxpx headlining i think would be that it would sell out real quick so well see.

[jettadude77]

anybody go to that show on friday night in PA? how'd it go?

[Danger Bird]

who cares who is headlining? you dont have to see tehm. you can just go for streetlight. thats what im going to do. the only problem with mxpx headlining i think would be that it would sell out real quick so well see.
Yeah, but if MXPX headlines it will likely be expensive and full of assholes.

[ibanezman575]

mxpx isnt even that popular anymore

[shangbang]

I saw Streetlight at Bamboozle yesterday. They were by far the best band of the day.Heres the set list

A new song
That'll be the day
Point/Keasbey Nights/Counter-point
Everything Went Numb
New song
Heres to Life

Also they were the only band that got encore calls at the end of their set. They couldn't give one though because another band started playing right as their set ended at the other main stage.

[POINTLESS5448]

sounds sweeet! who else played there?

[shangbang]

http://www.thebamboozle.com/page-lineup.php

theres a list of all the bands. I went mainly for Streetlight and Thursday

[POINTLESS5448]

jesus thats amazing!

[shangbang]

Yea it was a good time. I wish I could have gone today to see Strike Anywhere, Lifetime and Paint it Black though

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah i would have gone to the one today over the one yesterday. i love how method man is right in the middle of all that too. m-e-t-h-o-d man!

how were the new songs? and thats sick that they put on such an awesome show.

[shangbang]

I liked the new songs a lot. It made me a lot more excited for the new album whenever that comes out

[asdf]

If streetlight plays near me this year, that will just be the cherry on top to this year being the best year for concerts for me ever.

And if I find a way to chicago in June to see W/IFS and Mischief Brew.

[jettadude77]

I liked the new songs a lot. It made me a lot more excited for the new album whenever that comes out
do you remember any song titles of the new ones?

[shangbang]

They didn't say the names of any of the new songs. All I remember is one of the songs had lyrics like"What would you say if I told you I was dying" or something similar to that

[ert90]

So the new tour dates are supposed to be posted sometime this week or soon at least.

RBF, MxPx and Transition are holding a chat meeting tomorrow night so maybe we'll get some info then. Don't have a link but just go to reelbigfish.com, theres a a link there.

[jettadude77]

i got a myspace bulletin thing that lists rhode island shows and it has the reel big fish/streetlight tour stopping in providence at lupo's saturday july 1st. that's just what the bulletin said, but it's a start.

[ert90]

Yea, they've annonced a few already, like in Jersey on the 16th of July I think.

[Golan]

They're in my town this Friday, unfortunately I cannot attend.

[AIRIC]

That's unfortunate. Amazing live show.

EDIT: Btw, Catch 22 are comign here again in August with Big D, VGS and Westbound Train.

5th time for Catch 22 and 2nd for VGS, Westbound Train and Big D

[rylo6]

what d'ya think the chances are they'll come visit my state(alaska)?lol

[Liebensaft]

About the same as the chances of Ethan turning into a heroin junkie.

[_JR]

he might be??

[AIRIC]

No chance.

[_lower_class_brat_]

they better come to canada!!!

[theliberties]

MOD EDIT


This is the new official thread for the bands Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, and Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. It has had every SLM, Catch 22, and BOTAR thread I could find merged into it. In this thread you can discuss these three bands and news surronding them.

Any other new threads about these bands will be closed.

im seeing streetlight next week at the el rey with aquabats whom i dont really fancy but i heard they were badass live.

the band im in covered a moment of violence so check it out

[Henrik]

Hey, I saw that some time ago.
You are pretty good.

[Brian Manifesto]

They didn't say the names of any of the new songs. All I remember is one of the songs had lyrics like"What would you say if I told you I was dying" or something similar to that

I saw them also there new songs sounded poppier but they were good, the one that went " Would you be a pest if I told we were dying, and all they told you was a lie" was a really good song though. That was an amazing set, i can't wait til July 16 i got my tickets yesterday.

The skachilles forum is back up

[Daniel!]

I saw Streetlight last night and the were simply amazing. They were just really energetic and fun and tons better than The Aquabats (who they opened for). The Point/Counterpoint and Keasbey Nights medley was the highlight of the show.

[incubass]

i got a myspace bulletin thing that lists rhode island shows and it has the reel big fish/streetlight tour stopping in providence at lupo's saturday july 1st. that's just what the bulletin said, but it's a start.

yea dude im def going to that show my friend just told me about that.

[obese_breasts]

How long did SLM play for? I'm going Saturday and don't want to be shitcanned with a half hour set.

[comptonassrobert]

You were at the sac show last night? I was there too, I had on my green DKM shirt on :smoke:

How long did SLM play for? I'm going Saturday and don't want to be shitcanned with a half hour set.

They played for a good 45 minutes I think.

[obese_breasts]

That's worth the $14.

[comptonassrobert]

The best $15 I've ever spent. Maybe cause I got to meet and hangout with Tomas after the show :cool:

But even though I don't like them that much, the Aquabats but on the most amazing show.

[Daniel!]

You were at the sac show last night? I was there too, I had on my green DKM shirt on :smoke:
Yep. It was great. I really liked the venue too.

[comptonassrobert]

Yeah, I thought it was going to be a little bigger but it was still pretty awesome. Where were you during SM's set? I was at the very front next to the chick with the mist-bottle, which was awesome until everybody started pushing forward haha

[Henrik]

What did you and Tomas talk about?

[comptonassrobert]

I met Delano and the trombone player in the actual club because they were behind the counter selling merchandise, but I got to go back to their van to talk to Tomas and Chris. Didn't get to have the deepest of conversations because they were leaving soon and I didn't want to bug him so we just did the usual "wow man tonight was amazing, great show you're an inspiration blah blah blah" and I got his signature on my ticket and a couple pictures with him.

[Henrik]

Wow, That's awesome, I would love to meet them.
Yeah even to see them would fulfill my wishes.

[POINTLESS5448]

to be able to actually go to one of their shows would fulfill my wishes.

[asdf]

I'm greatly looking forward to seeing them July 6th. They haven't been here since July 04!

[AIRIC]

That's my birthday!

[Anarcho Poser]

They came nearby a few months ago, but it was before I got my license, and my ride fell through. I was sad.

[AIRIC]

I'm getting leaked Catch22.

I'm not sure if it's actually leaked or if it's been out for months though.

[Liebensaft]

Sweet.

[AIRIC]

Oh wow it sounds very unmastered.

This piano intro is pissing me the **** off.

This is going to suck.

[the-UK-ska-scene]

Well the guy from Victory records offered to give me the new Catch album today, so I'm guessing it's out?

[skavid]

Well the guy from Victory records offered to give me the new Catch album today, so I'm guessing it's out?

According to the Victory site, it says it's not supposed to be out until June 27th.

[AIRIC]

Hmm interesting.

[me likes punk]

STREETLIGHT IS COMING STREETLIGHT IS COMING!!!!

I cannot wait! holy ****! I can't believe it.

[Danger Bird]

[Henrik]

Do you remember any titles?

[Jamie is beaumont]

can u tell me if any of you three bands are playing leeds?

[Henrik]

Botar don't play live shows so far.

[obese_breasts]

they didn't say any titles for the new song just "this is a new song"

[obese_breasts]

for me the set list was
New Song
Everything Went Numb
New Song
Moment of Silence
Moment of Violence
We are the Few
Here's To Life

[_JR]

question? if botar did play a live show, would they amplify or just make everyone be really quiet?

anyway im going to see streetlight on aug 8 in milwaukee. anyone want to meet up

[pedro durruti]

They were here more than a week ago and I forgot about it. Probably because they were playing with the Aquabats

I guess they would only perform for maximum 100 people then. Bands like Ghost Mice don't use electricity either...

100th post in this thread:thumb:

[jettadude77]

anybody know what the deal is with the new bass player? apparently his name is pete but that is all i got so far.

[Henrik]

I didn't even know they changed again.

[Danger Bird]

Are there any SLM bootlegs?

[Henrik]

They had two on http://skachilles.com/music vbut I don't know if it still works???

Edit: It does not. Wtf is wrong with that site at the moment?

[jettadude77]

They had two on http://skachilles.com/music vbut I don't know if it still works???

Edit: It does not. Wtf is wrong with that site at the moment?
i think that site went down with the old skachilles forum.

[Henrik]

What? That sucks. It was most peoples sourche to rare stuff such as Rules of the game and Smiles for Macavity, Botar too.

Can't they just put it up again?

[Brain Toad]

Not if they don't have the money to run the site. I'm sure the bandwidth cost ****loads with everyone downloading from it.

[Henrik]

Ohh I see, didn't knew that.

Streetlight Manifesto doing Dear Sergio:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffbf6kSA5n8&search=streetlight%20manifesto
They do it pretty good.

[comptonassrobert]

Youtube has a bunch of SM live stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPBJ2JlJQBw&search=streetlight%20manifesto is easily my favourite though, that medley is amazing. I don't know if they do it every show or not, but they did at the one I went to and the whole place went nuts.

EDIT: have tour dates been released for their shows with Reel Big Fish?

[Henrik]

Yep awesome medley. Streetlight should do a live album once they've put out a bit more material.

[POINTLESS5448]

they do have some live stuff out. i have some at least. i have live at stonepony and live at hte forum.

[Brain Toad]

Bootlegs != offical live CD

[me likes punk]

^ Die, please/


Yeah sorry about that. It's just that not very many good bands come to Nebraska.

[Danger Bird]

No, i was talking to the guy below you. He deleted his post.

[encmetalhead]

why dont they have a place for donatiosn and merch to get money to buy more bandwidth?

[jettadude77]

http://lizardman.hippotank.com/

this site has three seperate shows from england.

[Liebensaft]

Thank you very much.

[Henrik]

Have anyone heard the new Catch 22 album?
What's it like?

[AIRIC]

Bad. I have it on Soulseek and AIM if you want it. Skrunnch for both.

[Henrik]

Is it better than the last one? If not I don't think I'll be a fan.

[Jessizzle]

New like, Newer than Dinasour sounds?

[SantaDuJuan]

New like, Newer than Dinasour sounds?
Are you calling teh great Dinosaur Jr a bad band?

[Jessizzle]

I enjoyed Catch 22s Dinasour sounds album, im wondering if they are talking about a even newer one, since that one isnt new really.

[SantaDuJuan]

huh?

I enjoyed Catch 22s Dinasour sounds album, im wondering if they are talking about a even newer one, since that one isnt new really.
Haha omg! They named their album Dinosaur sounds?
That makes me want to hear it.

Who does their new singer sound like?

[Henrik]

huh?

I enjoyed Catch 22s Dinasour sounds album, im wondering if they are talking about a even newer one, since that one isnt new really.
I was talking about Permanent Revolution.

[Jessizzle]

I was talking about Permanent Revolution.
oh. I havnt heard about this album. i must get it.

[lynch_me]

catch 22 are now a boring rock band with horns thrown in.

[AIRIC]

Kind of like Big D.

[comptonassrobert]

I even liked Catch 22 for the first album after Tomas left. But when the second singer left and the sax player started singing, they got pretty horrible.

White stained lips is a shitty song.

[FauxApathy]

Kind of like Big D.

Do they actually sound like Big D?

I know this isn't what you were aiming for, but Big D and the Kids Table is probably my favorite band with Streetlight Manifesto right behind them.

I've never heard new Catch 22, mostly because I've heard so many people say how terrible they are, but If they actually sound like Big D, I think I might enjoy them.

[AIRIC]

No they're worse than Big D.

What I was getting at was that Big D aren't really a ska band.. just a pop-punk band with horns.

[Henrik]

I think the new catch 22 album has a very cool album cover.

[Liebensaft]

After a quick amazon search, I'd agree.

[AIRIC]

Meh.. not really.

[jettadude77]

how long do you think streetlight will get on this reel big fish tour? i'm guessing/hoping 40 minutes

[FauxApathy]

No they're worse than Big D.

What I was getting at was that Big D aren't really a ska band.. just a pop-punk band with horns.


Mostly... but there are a few ska songs thrown in... You Lost, You're Crazy is pretty good.

[Henrik]

I like what I've heard of Big D... What's their best album?

[Catchthe22]

I like what I've heard of Big D... What's their best album?

Good Luck is really good and lots say it is a must own ska album. Ive hear some of their new stuff and it is pretty good but i have yet to get one of their later albums

[Catchthe22]

is the album any good?

Permanent Revolution is good. One of the better mainstream ska albums in the last couple years. It's a darker sound and overall better sound than Dinosaur Sounds and competes with Alone In the Crowd I would say. One thing I will say is that if you strongly hated Dinosaur Sounds, this album probably isnt going to change your views too much on the new Catch 22. However, it is better and different, so still worth a listen. When it is released and reviewed I plan on giving it a solid 4. Better than OK, but not Great.

[jettadude77]

Good Luck is really good and lots say it is a must own ska album. Ive hear some of their new stuff and it is pretty good but i have yet to get one of their later albums
i like both good luck and how it goes, they are similar and different. good luck has a bunch of my favorites like can't be caught and 51 gardener. how it goes has 20 songs and i like most all of them, that's just me though.

[Henrik]

So How it Goes has a lot of good songs and good Luck has a few awesome songs on it???

[NEDM]

I just recently got into Streetlight Manifesto. I must say that they are simply amazing. I have yet to hear any Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution, but I look forward to it when I have the time to download an album or something.

[maco]

I just recently got into Streetlight Manifesto. I must say that they are simply amazing. I have yet to hear any Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution, but I look forward to it when I have the time to download an album or something.
There's a 5-track EP, that's it. One track is the original "Here's to Life", another is a cover of "Dear Sergio", and one is an intro. It's called "A Call to Arms", and it was just released by Victory (originally it was all hand-done...there's only a few out there..probably a couple hundred...anyone know?)

[Henrik]

Someone in this thread once told me that there were about 200 copies... But I am not sure though. I would love to have an original copy...

[FauxApathy]

I just ordered the EP yesterday since I couldn't get my hands on an original...

As to the big d question, How It Goes is my favorite album.

[Henrik]

I would have ordered the ep some time ago, but the shipping just turned out very expensive.

[jettadude77]

So How it Goes has a lot of good songs and good Luck has a few awesome songs on it???
no, good luck is awesome. i've just listened to how it goes more often. listen to them both. now.

[Brady234]

I have an original BOTAR EP. I was under the impression there were a few thousand out there, though.

[Henrik]

How did you get it? Sounds really cool.

[maco]

I would have ordered the ep some time ago, but the shipping just turned out very expensive.
I would have ordered it a while ago but their stupid ordering site thing didn't work forever and now that it does, they don't take checks. Stupid stupid thing...the Static Age's webstore is credit-card only as well :angry:

[Brady234]

They were selling from the BOTAR or RISC website when it first released for a while. Everyone that looks at my cds comments about it because it sticks out pretty obviously.

[Henrik]

As long as you realise how lucky you are it's fair.

[Ghostfire3]

Is A Call to Arms BOTAR's only release?

[Brain Toad]

Yes.

[Henrik]

The rumours say they will have a new full length out this year.

[Deconstruction]

The rumours say they will have a new full length out this year.
I dont think they are rumors. I thought the website qouted Tom saying there would be more material out this year..

[jettadude77]

I dont think they are rumors. I thought the website qouted Tom saying there would be more material out this year..
though i would love to believe this, they've pushed back release dates for awhile now, i will wait until victory records has it advertised like they did with keasbey nights before i believe anything.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

If BOTAR and Streetlight released a full lenght album this year I would cry.

[Catchthe22]

Streetlight updated their website with tour dates but without a new blog. I think Tomas is ashamed because the album will not come out till next year.

[AIRIC]

Still not coming back here.

[Nannou]

I like Streetlight Manifesto a lot. I got their record recently (Everything Goes Numb). Every song is good. There isn't a bad track on it. In a couple weeks I get the privelage to see them with Reel Big Fish and MxPx.

[Mute Print]

I'm seeing them on their tour with Reel Big Fish as well. Should be a good time.

[smokersdieyounger]

Where are they on tour at the moment? I finally got my copy of 'everything goes numb' and I cant stop listening to it, why is MX right about everything?

[jettadude77]

Where are they on tour at the moment? I finally got my copy of 'everything goes numb' and I cant stop listening to it, why is MX right about everything?
they are doing a north american tour with reel big fish and mxpx in july and august.

[Catchthe22]

Checking out Reel Big Fish's live tracks from their album "Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album", they sound better than ever live. http://www.myspace.com/thereelbigfish has some off their self released DVD/CD.

[Kithkin]

Reel Big Fish are only good live if both Scott and Aaron are there.

Otherwise they aren't funny and the backup vocals suck.

[comptonassrobert]

they are doing a north american tour with reel big fish and mxpx in july and august.

Can anybody confirm/deny this? I really really want to go to this. I really want to see RBF with Rancid too and I expected it at SF one date because it's Rancids hometown.

[gastery6]

I might see Streetlight next month in Toronto.

7/29 Tempe, AZ Marquee Theater
7/30 San Diego, CA House of Blues - San Digeo
7/31 Anaheim, CA House of Blues - Anaheim
8/1 Las Vegas, NV House of Blues - Las Vegas

[comptonassrobert]

DAMMIT. The closest is San Diego and that's like 6 1/2 hours away =/

[Joeeddstealschickens]

I saw Strretlight Manifesto last November in a few months back, their horn section really impressed me.

[Catchthe22]

DAMMIT. The closest is San Diego and that's like 6 1/2 hours away =/

They are playing Lancaster, CA July 7th. So instead of 6.5 hours that is like 3.5-4.5 hours?

[comptonassrobert]

Yea actually. I didn't even notice the Lancaster date. Thanks :)

[ert90]

Going to see Reel Big Fish with Streetlight tonight baby!! I'm kind of glad that MxPx is missing this show too, we'll only have skankers on board.

I'll try to post the set list for each band if I remember them.

[Henrik]

Set list please.... what was it like?

[Jessizzle]

Maaan Streetlight were sooo amazing. I couldnt even tell you the set list, I was GAH, dazzed i should say, sang alone to everyword thinking OMFG im seeing STREETLIGHT. I missed the first song or two, due to venue mixups, ( we went to the fun house on queen street, instead on the Kool haus, on queens quae which is like a 30 min run) anyways. They played a new song, it was soo good and thomas said " we plan on putting out an album in 2007, so that means 2009"

[Catchthe22]

hahah we can expect an album every 5 years.

[ert90]

The set in Grand Rapids was about this:

That'll Be The Day
Point/Counterpoint-Keasbey Nights Medley
A Moment Of Silence
New Song (Really good too)
Everything Went Numb
Here's To Life

The order to that may be a little messed up and they may have even done a new song to kick things off, I don't really remember though.

The show was ****ing awesome as you'd expect. The only problem was that Streetlight didn't play for quite as long as I wanted them too. When introducing the new song Tomas said "this is on the new album, which will probably never come out." But after Streetlight, RBF took forever to get on stage but it was worth it. They played Take On Me, Good Thing, Ban The Tube Top, Sell Out, Brand New Song, Cheer Up, She Has A Girlfriend Now, Beer, Everything Sucks, S.R. and also a bunch of stuff I didn't recognize. But they're encore was great. The grand finale was their killer cover of Op Ivy's Unity. That was one of the best songs of the night.

[Jessizzle]

Did they cover metallica for you? that was sweet, RBF playing Enter sandman.

Delano (the black one) is their trumpet player.
I got to hangout with him by the merch too
buttttttt I got to hangout with all of them by their tour trailer thing after the show so HMPH!!! :)

[Danger Bird]

I don't think I'll see streetlight if they come around. BotAR would be a different story.

[MBS]

DAMMIT. The closest is San Diego and that's like 6 1/2 hours away =/

Damn, that sucks. I'm probably going to the Anaheim House of Blues show...

...after I go to Disneyland. :D

Streetlight Manifesto has quickly turned into one of my favorite bands. Everything Goes Numb is one of the best albums in the past few years, hands down.

[AIRIC]

Does RBF still have a horn section?

[comptonassrobert]

I'm pretty sure that they dropped the horns, but I could be wrong. And I couldn't imagine a live show without them playing Sellout, which requires horns.

[Catchthe22]

wtf they still have a horn section. One trumpet, One trombone and one guy that does a few things including trumpet if he needs.

[lynch_me]

Does RBF still have a horn section?
Haha, yeah.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

This is something I've been wondering about for a while now. What exactly is the plot of 'Kristina She Don't Know I Exist'? In the first verse, she doesn't know him, but then in the second, he "took her home so quietly", so it seems they're going out or something. But then in the chorus after the second verse he still says that she doesn't know he exists. I just don't get it.

[Catchthe22]

Good question. The way I look at the storyline is this way. It starts off with the guy just having a big crush on her, but never talking to her. And then in photography class, he discovers a "contact print" (A photographic print). He does not believe it and finds her staring back at him. This is where it hints that on that print there is something Kristina did to tell him she likes him. So he takes her home and a little instrumental comes. Now I infer they are dating. Next thing you know she dropped him for some guy. The chorus in the beginning is very 'you dont know I exist' ,but towards the end it evolves to 'you dont know what you missed'. I cant really explain the chorus after the taking home of Kristina. Except the chorus does come before the instrumental so maybe she still doesnt know him until that "instrumental of late night talks and holding hands".

[asdf]

I always thought that he merely took the contact print home.

[ert90]

Yea, he just took the print of her home. Pretty simple...

[Catchthe22]

I guess that makes sense. It would explain the chorus after "so I took her home so quietly"

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

I always thought "I took her home so quietly" was kind of odd, but if he's just taking the print home, I think he would want to be quiet sneaky about it, which makes sense.

[Henrik]

I don't know if any of you have seen this but check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5LFD8i_Dh0&search=streetlight%20manifesto
It's a short clip of Streetlight playing what in my ears sounds like a new song. At least I don't know who else should have made it. Anyways, I think it sounds awesome. My guess of a name would be "Mercy Me" or "Ain't no turning back".

I really can't wait for a new album. It's without doubt the most exciting I have ever been for an album to be released.

[Ghostfire3]

I have to miss Streetlight when they come to Chicago because I'm going to visit my friend in Florida. :( But I'm seeing Big D & The Kids Table, Voodoo Glowskulls and Westbound Train while I'm there. Does that make up for it?

[Henrik]

No it does not... Big D rule though.

[Ghostfire3]

Yeah, but the other bands at the Streetlight show will be Reel Big Fish (who I don't like) and MXPX (who I really don't like).

[The Fonz]

Yeah, but the other bands at the Streetlight show will be Reel Big Fish (who I don't like) and MXPX (who I really don't like).
lol. mxpx, they're playing some.. like revalationXGeneration thing in bumble****, newjersey. aka, where i live.

[Jessizzle]

To see catch 22 tomorrow, or not.
It will be a good show, since its catch 22, Voodoo Glow Skulls and the flatliners. But 20ish$ worth... mhm. i duno.

[_JR]

anyone going to the streetlight, RBF, MXPX show in milwaukee on the 8th?

[Liebensaft]

To see catch 22 tomorrow, or not.
It will be a good show, since its catch 22, Voodoo Glow Skulls and the flatliners. But 20ish$ worth... mhm. i duno.
That same show was here a few days ago, except with Big D and Westbound Train instead of the Flatliners.

It's the same exact show I saw like 3 months ago, and at the same venue too.

[Black Ink]

Streetlight was great when I saw them two weeks back. I wish they had more time to play though. I'd rather here them then MxPx. Reel Big Fish was really good as always as well.

[Kithkin]

I think everyone would rather hear them than mxpx, but I guess this tour will expose them to a different audience.

[ert90]

I have a feeling they'll be doing a headlining tour after their next release though.

[Jessizzle]

catch 22 is so good live!!! man i was surprised. Their horns are very good, but they dont show that in recordings, My favourite song of the night was Point the Blame. and to be honest, i love the new album, its even better live. they also played some Keasby nights stuff, GOOD

[ert90]

That would feel so strange seeing Catch playing stuff of Keasbey. It just doesn't seem right. I had a chance to catch them here in March but decided not to go.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

So I just got it into my head that I wanted to hear Gimp's Supernothing, so does anyone know where one can acquire Smilies for Macavity?

[Henrik]

They had it free to download on skachilles, but I think it got down when the site closed for a while... It never got back up I think.
The version is much slower and only contains Guitar and violin. Also has some extra lyrics at the end... A fun listen but in my opinion not as good as the Catch 22 version.

[Jessizzle]

I have it somewhere on my computer. I just dont know where.

[Henrik]

Gimp is actually suprisingly good.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

Which is why I want to find Smiles for Macavity.

[Henrik]

I see... I guess I could upload it to you. But I am not allowed to post the link on here.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

Email the link to me? Idk.

[FauxApathy]

I'm going to a streetligh concert on the eighth.

Line up is Reel Big Fish, mxpx, transition, whole wheat bread and Streetlight, and it starts at 6:30

Problem is, I have to leave at 9:30!
Do you think I'll see them?

[Henrik]

You probably will, they don't headline that tour.

[me likes punk]

I just saw that show the other day, and Streetlight went on second. Transition wasn't there though so it might be different.

[FauxApathy]

I saw them, and they were amazing set was:

1. That'll Be The Day
2. Didn't recognize it. Either new or a cover.
3. Point/Counterpoint -Keasby Nights-Point/Counterpoint
4. New Song. Was very good. I don't remember much other than the line "Would You Be Impressed?"
5. Failing, Flailing
6. A Moment Of Violence
7. Here's To Life

They didn't play an encore, but Thomas said the new record would be out in a few months. Don't know if we can trust him, but that sounds good.

[AIRIC]

Hopefully it'll be just a few months.

[_JR]

i saw the same show as you in milwaukee^^

it was amazing. i somehow got pushed 3 rows in front or tomas. crazy.
what he said i think was:
"this song's off our new album which you can pick up at the merch stand now........just kidding it'll be about 3 months"

something like that. i'm hopeful

i was talking to their drummer and he said something about their record label victory records and how they release albums in bunches. the next batch comes out around october and then the next is january. so january is a possibility, but i'll believe it when i see it.

[as_seen_on_tv]

FauxApathy,I wish I would've gotten the same set.Here was what I got:

1.That'll Be The Day
2.New Song
3.Point/Counterpoint mixed with Keasbey Nights
4.Failing/Flailing

I can't complain though,it was still amazing.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

I think I actually like Gimp's Supernothing more than Catch 22's. It's different anyway.

[Danger Bird]

Any news on the new album from BOTAR or SM?

[Henrik]

I don't think so... A good guess for new Streetlight would be January 2007.

[Jessizzle]

Thomas said " we plan on having the album out for 2007, meaning 2009"

[Henrik]

I need some new stuff now! At least a little teaser.

[AIRIC]

A teaser would be nice.

[Henrik]

A teaser could show us, how big expectations we should allow us self to have to a new album. At this point I have never ever in my life had so big expectations to an upcoming release before.

Last big one might have been Against Me! but they kind of disappointed.

[Jessizzle]

I heard a bunch of new songs live. amazing

[Henrik]

How many times have you seen them Jess?

[Pirate Satellite]

Who/what is/are Gimps? I've never heard of them.

[Jessizzle]

Who/what is/are Gimps? I've never heard of them.
Gimp is thomas's first band, when he was like 14.

and iv only seen Streetlight Once, Both other times they came it was on a school night.

[Henrik]

Who/what is/are Gimps? I've never heard of them.
Like Jess said: Tomas' first band. It was just him on guitar with bass and drums. I've heard people saying that the drummer was Chris from Catch 22, but I'm not sure about that. The styles is pop-punkish and sounds alot different than his later stuff.
Many people want to hear it because it contains an early version of "Supernothing", the song which later appeared on Rules of the Game and Keasbey Nights. The Gimp version is much slower and Has Tomas' Brother Archilles featuring on Violin.
It's decent considering Tomas' very low age when he wrote it, but it doesn't come close to the later material.

[streetlight1039]

thanks for the gimp album henrik. and does anyone know what tomas says at the end of the rap like part of giving up giving in? i cant figure it out for the life of me and i cant find it on the internet.

[SkaTastrophe]

I thought Streetlight was way better live than Catch-22, but that's just one girl's opinion.

[Henrik]

thanks for the gimp album henrik.
You're welcome.

I wondered: Does any live bootleg exist with the old Catch 22 line-up?

[i_am_zombie_jesus]

Hey people, I was just wondering which band you guys like the best out of the 3 (Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto and BOTAR.) And what is your fav song by them.

Me personally I love all 3 but Streetlight have to come out on top and Point/Counterpoint has to be my fav song.

Also....
I sendt the link for Gimps album to your e-mail... Enjoy

Anybody else want it?

If you could devildude28@hotmail.com please and thank you.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

BOTAR definetly. I don't know what song is my favorite but definetly BOTAR. I can't wait for the full length. I'm pretty much ****ting myself.

[i_am_zombie_jesus]

BOTAR definetly. I don't know what song is my favorite but definetly BOTAR. I can't wait for the full length. I'm pretty much ****ting myself.

Yeah man isnt it supposed to be called like "99 songs of the Revolution"? And its 99 songs some covers and some originals?

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I knew it was called 99 Songs of Revolutions.

I didn't hear about it actually being 99 songs long. For the average length of a BOTAR song, that would have to be something like ten discs.

[Liebensaft]

Oh wow. If it was actually 99 songs, and they were half of what the songs on A Call to Arms are, it'd probably be the greatest thing that ever happened.

[AIRIC]

I highly doubt it will be 99 songs.

I'm sure it will be fantastic though. Tom never disapoints.
